GeekByKnight Posted November 22, 2017 Posted November 22, 2017 (edited) I'm working on a few film studio based vignettes, one of which is a green screen set up. But I'm struggling with the right colour: does anyone have suggestions on which is a better match? The yellowish green has a better variety of parts, but seems not quite right colour wise. I'm trying to do these comparisons on a screen, which isn't helping, so could you guys suggest brick colours based on your experience?

grove Posted November 24, 2017 Posted November 24, 2017 The technique works with any color, (I believe) green and blue are the most commonly used (and is often called chroma key, to avoid naming any colour), so use a colour you feel like. I would probably go for either a standard blue or a standard green, depending on what other colours were used in the vignette. Quote
Jarren Posted November 26, 2017 Posted November 26, 2017 The reason why a filmmaker would choose blue over green is kind of interesting, often coming down to the setting the shot, or time of day the shot is intended to be taking place. Another consideration is to avoid having similar colors to the chroma key chosen. That said, I think that Bright Green would work best for the green screen effect. They come in 1x2 bricks and 1x2x2 bricks. Standard blue would work well too. Quote
